It helps if you mention things like that up front.
However, it makes no difference to the results. (Not to mention that disabling robust copy just means that x2 uses the windows-copy routines for the evil deeds, it doesn't actually disable the x2 copying/menus/actions, etc, those remain intact.)
And all of that has more or less become moot now, as 7.02 seems to have been released which (as far as I can tell) fixes the issue. The changelog includes something about the previous version "always triggering the copy menu on Total Commander"... which is too much of a coincidence to actually
be a coincidence.
Anyway, another quick test with 2.5.0.4 shows that it works as expected now.

That doesn't appear to be the case - while it does not actually
notify upon detection, it most certainly seems to quarantine the offender right away. Without doubt the same installer (on Win7) has a whole separate rigmarole about "Would you like to install all sorts of crapware with this product..." (ok, not a literal quote, but you get the idea), whereas installing on Win10 completely skips that. I'm assuming that the reason is because on Win10 the defender-thingy disabled the adware DLL, so the installer could never actually execute it, and the installer therefore continues nonchalantly. A few minutes later, however, defender starts giving tray notification messages relating to what it had done. On Win7 I have defender disabled, so the DLL is allowed to do its thing unmolested.
Thus, I surmise that defender does indeed trap and scan things
as they are extracted/installed, not just after - at least on Win10, and at least as regards installers - I know not about archives-proper, though to be fair "installers" per se are mostly just scripted forms of extractors anyway.
However, as I don't use it, and never will, that surmission is now just more clutter for my poor brain to store somewhere.

How can one lousy typo get me in this much trouble?
Do you lads just sit around waiting for me to trip-up before you pounce and hack away at my scalp? I thought they banned the infamous "post-Christmas hunt". (The thing with horses and dogs and unhappy foxes.)
